Gero Koyokan Annex WANPAKUTEI in Gero

The facilities seemed a bit dated, but it was clear they were well-maintained overall. The tatami room was spacious and lovely, and all the staff at the front desk were incredibly friendly. There were two types of hot springs: an indoor sauna and an outdoor one. While the facilities were on the smaller side, there were no other guests when I used them, so my sister and I could comfortably enjoy the onsen by ourselves. Although we don't have a dog, it seemed like there were various amenities for pet owners. It takes about 12 minutes to walk to Gero Station. Since it was snowing heavily and we had luggage, we wanted to use the shuttle service, but unfortunately, there was no driver available. However, they kindly hailed a taxi for us, so we were able to get to the station comfortably. The room had yukata and various other amenities. Right next to the accommodation, there were Gero Pudding, butter sandwiches, and several souvenir and trinket shops. A Lawson convenience store was also conveniently located within a 5-minute walk. Oh, but the noise from upstairs? The soundproofing wasn't great, and the whole room vibrated when people walked above us, haha! Aside from that one point, everything else was absolutely fantastic.

We stayed at Wanpakutei, just like last year.
We received a gift for our dog shortly after arriving.
As our dog is elderly, we were able to get a tatami room on the second floor with a great view, as requested.
Dinner was just the right amount, and the Hida beef was delicious.

Very nice place near and services .. If you are a pet lover you stay with your pets at the hotel ryokan type, Japanese style hotel. With shuttle service from the train station to hotel.. Just call at the hotel on the time you arrive at the train station.
There is an information at the train station so you can ask a help how to call the hotel, the staff there will help you.🤗
